German Judaic Joseph & Brothers copper inflation Jeton by Reich 1772, Brett-1933
Germany > Brandenburg: Joseph and His Brothers inflationary Jeton ("Josefs-Jeton" - "Joseph und Seine Bruder" teuerungsjeton), 1772; struck in copper; by Johann Christian Reich; 29mm, 6.8g. Obverse depicts Joseph ( with right hand over sack of corn) and his brothers (kneeling before him) surmounted by German legend "LIEB DIE BRÜDER GOTT GIBTS WIEDER" (loosely translated as "The Brother Loves the G-d Who Gives Again"); below Joseph's hand is "RE KOR" and between the colonades "GOTT SEGNE EUCH" ("G-d Bless You"); below the image on two lines is "DANTES. 1772". On reverse is 10 lines of text, starting with "1771.", listing various food product costs, and ending "FÜRTH.". Medal alignment; thick planchet. Kischner is hesistant to classify these jetons as anti-Semitic; some variations have an anti-Semitic tone, but others like this one are more restrained: it draws on the Biblical story of Joseph and the 7 year famine in Egypt, but in this version it inspires praise in G-d rather than blaming Joseph himself for the strife. In VF-EF, with a tiny oxidation speck on obverse; weak edge details on reverse seem due to weak strike; Brettauer-1933.
